How often do you have to use the nutrients?
Do the pumps ever get shut off or do they run 24/7?
How long do you run your grow light?
Can you use a container that is half the size or is it recommended to use
the 18 gallon tub?
Do you just start plants this way or can you continue to grow through the
winter months?
Thanks much for your presentation and your answers. Have a nice day!!﻿

I would add a 1/2″ rubber grommet, 1/2″ barbed elbow, and a 1 foot long
vinyl tube. Connect them to a hole on the bottom. This will enable you to
see the water level without opening the lid and you will be able to easily
remove the water without disturbing the root zone or opening the lid. ﻿

You use organic cucumber plants and yet you use genetically modified
Miracle Grow from Monsanto to feed the plants? Aren’t you defeating the
purpose of organic plants? And what about chemicals being leached from the
plastic into the watering system? Do you have any data on using non-food
grade plastic? This is not meant to criticize or discourage. I only mean to
bring up curiosity questions and hopefully find answers and solutions.

For example, can modified manure tea be used instead of Miracle Grow? Can
sunlight be used as a supplement to the mercury filled florescent light
bulb? ﻿
